Is .NET Dead Yet? | |
|
||
| Time: 16:37 EST/21:37 GMT | News Source: NewsFactor | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||

Microsoft has generated so much hype about .NET that many are wondering whether the software giant's technology for connecting information, people, systems and devices can live up to its billing. .NET uses XML (extensible markup language) Web services as building-block applications that connect to one another via the Internet. But customers have given the technology a lukewarm, if not downright cold, reception, leading many to question its future prospects. Is Microsoft stumbling in the dark in its efforts to compete with Java, the Internet's native son? Microsoft executives declined to comment about .NET's future, pointing only to customer case studies as evidence of successful implementations and of the benefits of XML Web services. | ||

| *sigh* It seems as though the Register, which has been very mild lately, has fired all their vocal Offical Microsoft Haters and NewsFactor picked them up. |

| Companies are writing apps in .NET right now, but it takes some time before they go live. Wait until the end of the year. |

I do a substantial amount of consulting, as well as work for a fairly large software development company.
Out of my ~10 major consulting clients, 7 are (or already have) moved entirely to 100% .NET development. Of those 7, 4 were 100% J2EE before the move. :-) My primary employer is starting the move of their entire product line (which includes 6 major pieces of software, totaling around 1 million lines of code) to .NET within the month. I usually don't use anecdotal evidence to support my claims, but in this case, it really is fairly conclusive. |

| This is why Microsoft is so successful... because their leaders don't bury their heads in the sand and ignore the market. Bill/Steve openly admit that .NET hasn't moved along as fast as they had hoped. THAT realization will prompt a stronger ongoing focus on making sure .NET succeeds. For MSFT's competitors, that frank approach to business is deadly. |

| The Register strikes again! For MS .NET is a strategy stretching far ahead in the future, it is not like an OS or another app with two or three years life span. We will see the results in few years, not months. |
